Identify Explain the task in your own words. We have been asked to make a historical house for The Auckland War Memorial Museum. The house has to be from a certain time period and cannot be a made up house. We have to collect all of the information and materials of the house. We have to check the designs and architecture work of the house and also the technique. We have to design and make the house on Google Sketchup. Investigate some examples (Top 4)
Greek Villa 2.Tree house3. Thai House4. Pyramid House
Greek Villa: White walls, small windows and no glass, complicated design. Designed the house white because White cools the sun down so it protects the Greeks from the sun. There are small windows so not too much sun gets through but you can get a nice breeze. Tree house: Made of wood, trees, ropes. People support there tree house to a strong tree. They are usually small so they won’t fall of the tree. Thai House: Pointy roof, quite open, flows through, only mostly shelter on the top, made of wood. People have mixed their own style and their own spirits into this style of house. It is very artistic and Thai houses have lots of influences for its history from south East Asia. Pyramid House: White walls, Small windows on slant, Not many windows. This house has a unique style because it is a pyramid and it is a house that people live in. Look at four different historical housing designs and find three common similarities and three differences - one will become the house that you will create in Sketchup. Similarities
They all have windows and doors.
They all have pointy roofs.
They are all abstract shapes.
Differences
They are all in different surroundings.
They are all made out of different materials.
They all have different types of windows.
What materials do they use? Greek Villa: White walls, small windows and no glass, complicated design. Tree house: Made of wood, trees, ropes.

Explain your reasons for this order eg is the design interesting, challenging, is the historical period appealing to you? The reason I chose these because they are really original and I think it will be a bit of a challenge to make these houses and it won’t be easy. I also really like the styles of the houses because you wouldn’t see any houses like this is New Zealand. I really like the way they bring out the culture in their houses because it shows that they are passionate about their culture. The materials that all of the houses are really awesome as well because they are very original. The house that I have chosen is? The tree house because it is really original and not many people are going to do a tree house and I admire the people that make them because they didn’t have many recourses. Describe each house eg what it is constructed of and the general living areas in the house. Igloo: White walls, made of ice and snow.
Castle: Pointy roof, lots of small windows, lots of chimneys, really big, and lots of levels of stairs.
Thai House: Pointy roof, quite open, flows through, only mostly shelter on the top, made of wood.
Greek Villa: White walls, small windows and no glass, complicated design.
Glass house: Made of glass, see through, stylish.
Pyramid House: White walls, Small windows on slant, Not many windows.
Indian Grass House: Made of grass, well made, lots of layers, pointy bits at the top.
Underwater house: Made of glass, see through, can see all of the water and fish. Why do you think some of these houses were built the way they were? .
Igloo-People make them becausewhen they are in the Antarctica there are no recourses and it is a shelter to live under and keeps you protected from the harsh winds.
Castle-People made castles in the Victorian times and when there were lots of battles and wars. They made it because it scares people away from the castle and also shows them that they have a lot of money to use. They have small windows so people couldn’t get bow and arrows through the windows.
Thai House-People have mixed their own style and their own spirits into this style of house. It is very artistic and Thai houses have lots of influences for its history from south East Asia.
Greek Villa-People designed the house white because White cools the sun down so it protects the Greeks from the sun. There are small windows so not too much sun gets through but you can get a nice breeze.
Glass house-People have made this house because it is unique and you can see everything where ever you are in the room, Also it is designed nice and strong so no winds can get in.
Pyramid House-This house has a unique style because it is a pyramid and it is a house that people live in.
Indian Grass House-It is a shape of a beehive people from Spanish and French travellers of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Underwater house-This is a new inversion that has not been made yet, it will be underwater and it will be made of glass so you can see the underwater world in front of your eyes and when you go to bed you will be able to watch the fish swim around you.
